For most use cases, LiteMage Cache can improve your stores' performance right out of the box. LiteMage Cache also reduces the complexity of your stack; only the LiteMage Extension and LiteSpeed Enterprise are required*. There is no need for an NGINX reverse proxy nor a Varnish Cache instance because the server can handle HTTPS and HTTP/2 requests and cache the pages all in one application.

LiteMage Cache operates by taking the page information from Magento and instructing LiteSpeed Enterprise on how to cache said page. Once the server knows how to cache it, future requests for the same page will be served directly from Cache. In this way, requests will never hit the Magento backend until a page is changed.

* For clustered setups, LiteSpeed Web ADC is needed as well.

Advantages Over Varnish

LiteMage's simple stack supports HTTPS and HTTP/2 right out of the box, eliminating the need for a separate front proxy.
